I will announce when I have more codes so it's a fair shot at access for most involved. Sorry about time zone shenanigans.
Note: I will not have codes until at earliest this afternoon, about 5-6 hours from now. So don't hold up your life for that!Guys I took 5 more codes. I am getting to a safe place to communicate them out. ETA 15 minutes.
Nerd Appropriate ‏@NerdAppropriate
We are giving away one last batch of @DragonAgeKeep codes from #PAX! Follow us and RT - #KEEPME for a shot. Winners chosen later today. GL!

One of the books in #DragonAge Inquisition - "Before Andrastianism: Forgotten Faiths"
If you're wondering why I haven't made the panel breakdown yet, it's because there's more info every day. I'm compiling everything tonight.
Deep Roads has a different color palette for it and new tile set. More..."open"? #PAX
Was there ever plans for a live action movie for #DragonAge? Chris Bain: "Yep." but nothing to share on any plans right now.

Allegra Clark ‏@SimplyAllegra
Also I stole a bunch more Keep codes today, so I am fully stocked and ready to share more with you! (But after PAX pls)
I can also do a giveaway for people who can't type fast enough! I'll put aside 3 for now. Favorite this tweet for a chance! I'll pick later.

Lady Insanity will be posting Keep beta codes (first one around 10am Pacific time), Allegra Clark (VA of Josephine) will be posting them randomly on the BSN, Nerd Appropriate will be giving some away if you follow/retweet, and we'll probably have other devs post them all day like yesterday. Keep your eyes peeled!

Nerd Appropriate @NerdAppropriate
Okay here we go with the first @DragonAgeKeep code giveaways (which is crazy impressive BTW) - I'll be giving more away while at #PAX
First two codes go to @VeliSipri and @K8e10e ! Congrats! --- Will be sending out some more tomorrow am - Keep your eyes on this twitter feed

They just showed Blackwall's face, without the helmet on. Girl in the back: "HOT." #PAX
Even if your character is holding a Veilfire torch, if you'e in stealth, enemies can't see you. Like...from 3 feet away. #DragonAge
"They were hurting and we helped. Their lives are better because of us." Cole, +5 Approval
Asked about the approval system with Advisors. Devs present not sure on specific mechanics and then got #MoreToReveal, haha. #DragonAge
[regarding specializations] Quest to get the person who will teach you. Then you learn from them.
[regarding the MP characters] I know that they have banter with other characters based on backgrounds (reaver won't get along w templar) so might be there.
No DLC (i.e. expansion pack or a la Javik) on launch. Devs are nose deep into Inquisition. #DragonAge
[on the Bioware Products Panel] Current concepts: Morrigan hoodie,
Inquisitor hoodie, Inquisiton belt/wallet/journal, Inquisition hoodie,
Morrigan t-shirt. #DragonAge

I have a question regarding #DAI... When will we have the PC requierements to run the game on PC ?
Mark Darrah ‏@BioMarkDarrah
Soon. Some graphics card things still being shaken out

Chris Bain on Last Flight by Liane Merciel: While mixed success with external authors, this one "phenomenal" and magic's written so well.
Cole will always wear *that hat*. No matter what head gear you give him. #DragonAge
"There's a reason people have been following our Herald..." - Blackwall #DragonAge
In case you miss a pillar to energize, just listen to the very creepy, resonating sound. That should help. #DragonAge
"There is an event that will open up all of the world" for exploration. Whether the peace talks exploding or a different event, don't know.
"Whole world" as in all the locations available in Inquisition, you guys...it's still Ferelden and Orlais.
Flemeth might make an appearance. Mike Laidlaw mentioned it at PAX East, but Jessica Merizan's just reminding you again. #DragonAge
Aidan Scanlan ‏@aidanscanlan
Exclusive Mubari given out to cosplayers at the #BioWareBase, and just maybe at future events...

So when playing with the Mouse & Keyboard, the hotkeys work the same way as previous titles. (Press M and the map shows up.)

The little buttons in the bottom right do the same thing, because everything should be accessible by the mouse. (Press the map icon, map shows up). You can also press the ESC key (or press the button on the hud) and get the list menu that Allan was referring to, which has your Journal, Map, Character Record, save, load, etc. (Click on the map in the list, map shows up).

The screenshot was taken while paused and zoomed out to 'tac cam' Mouse with the camera works how you would expect, hold both buttons you run, hold the right mouse and you rotate the camera, mouse wheel zooms out. etc

The ground rings have a few settings, you can always show, always hide them or have them just during tac cam.

Hope that answers a few questions, there is more PC specific stuff on the way.

Two cards that we have not yet seen are in the following batch: The Katari and the Arcane Warrior:
Dragon Age @dragonage
Some pretty good options in this lot. How will you play? #DAI

Billy Buskell @ehlien
The very first team to complete the #DAMP challenge!! Congrats!!

Friday, August 29

There is no streaming at PAX this year, so we're going to have to prowl through twitter, tumblr, youtube, and the forums for tidbits.

Multiplayer, single player, and the Keep are all getting previews and/or reveals at PAX, so stay tuned here for details as they come in.

The PC UI! HUZZAH!!

Updated to higher quality shot

PC question 1: 8 Ability slots?
A: Yes, per character. Changeable between combat.
PC Question 2: What is that TAB thing?
A2: Highlight stuff in the world.
PC Question 3: Why 8?
A: 32 abilities (along with passives/upgrades) across the party provides a broad spectrum of tactical options.
Ability count clarity: DAI is about roles, planning ahead and making tactical decisions. Potions, ability choice, gear, party composition.
I recognize that not everyone will be happy with the change, but better to let you know about it now than a surprise later.
You can map 8 active abilities per character in your party, and their passives always apply.

If you swim too deep in #DragonAge, you will take damage. And probably die.
There's an option to turn Friendly Fire on or off. #DragonAge
One of the mounts you can get is a war nug. #DragonAge #PAX
1.89x10^21 valid permutations for Keep. Better chances to win lottery than have same world state as someone else. Or something like that.
#DragonAge multiplayer is SO challenging, holy hell. Wiped on 4/5 but just glad I didn't die at all until the end, haha. Assassin =
"You can craft appearances for your characters" and same goes for wanting to play as a different character, for example Reaver #DragonAge
French characters that are enemies in single-player DAI but not in multiplayer? I'm genuinely confused. Unnamed enemy faction? #DragonAge
No local co-op for multiplayer mode. Lots of DLC support, same with ME3's. Challenge system like ME3 back. #DragonAge #PAX
Tarot cards inspired by Magic, originally for multiplayer. Single-player team saw it and used it also for companions. #DragonAge
On available #DragonAge multiplayer characters (at launch): 1 Qunari, 1 Dwarf. A few Elves. Mainly humans. More characters post-launch.

BioWare ‏@bioware
Q&A @DragonAgeKeep: If your memory is fuzzy, Keep provides context for decisions you make! You may also learn about choices you didn't make!
Q&A @DragonAgeKeep: Using HTML 5, Keep is easy to use on all devices including the web functionality within consoles!
If you're at #PAXPrime and you see these lovely people, ask them for a @DragonAgeKeep beta code! They also have swag! pic.twitter.com/uwMLXiXj3t

Inquisition HQ, an app to set your characters up for multiplayer, is coming up in the next panel. My last panel of the day!
Inquisition HQ - All multiplayer. On the go. Totally took this pic on a potato. http://t.co/rj5zXEx4T2

Ryan Warden @LesPaulDuJour
Inquisition HQ will allow you to check in on characters, modify your loadout, salvage and upgrade items, and craft new ones
We'll also have challenge and leaderboard tracking. We'll launch day-and-date with DAI, on iOS, Android, WinPhone 8, and desktop browsers
